If FF14 really is SE most profitable IP, then where are all the funds going?

It's a real shame the company is not willing to inject some serious and substantial amount of funds and resources back into the game's development.
Probably other projects and to recoup some losses from them such as the Avengers and Luminous Production; Forespoken and Babylon's Fall doesn't seem to have lukewarm reception as well.

They supposedly used money from the cash shop to finance the EU servers years ago and probably future servers, so it doesn't even look like SE is supporting them on that end.
